DG October Newsletter

G ‘day

September was an exceptionally busy month. Mainly due to the Australian New Zealand Conference and Governor training in Hobart. Susan and I also visited many clubs and I attended the World Peace Day dinner in Cowra.

The drought appeal is taking up a lot of our resources in manpower right now and a report follows. We have been given a RAWCS Project # to collect funds for the drought and to issue tax receipts.

Club visits are a lot of fun and we do have a wonderful team of Rotarians in our district and I hope that you all get to meet one another at the Griffith 2019 Conference March 29-31st 2019. Please do not forget to send me your club conference convenor, so far I only have 5 names in.

We will be holding the D9700 2018-2019 Club Presidents Forum and our D9700 AGM on Saturday 20th October in Young at the Ex-Services Club. ALL Club Presidents are asked to attend or send their proxy if unable to attend in person. This will be followed by a D9700 Board meeting in the afternoon.

Let me have any stories and photographs on whatever you are going to for World Polio Day October 24th.
